VANCOUVER - When it finally became clear that Bryan Burnham would, in fact, return to the B.C. Lions, the star receiver made an important video call.
He knew Mike Reilly, the team s marquee quarterback, was eagerly awaiting news. I answered the phone and I had a sad look on my face and was just telling him how much I enjoyed playing with him and all this and that, Burnham said Monday.
